Why Everyone Is Wrong About Fifield's Death | Prometheus (2012) Defended


Was Fifield's panic in Prometheus really that unrealistic? For years, the character Fifield has been the poster boy for "stupid character decisions" in sci-fi, but what if the critics are missing the point?

In this video, I defend one of the most misunderstood scenes in Ridley Scott's Prometheus. We're breaking down the chaotic psychology of the moment, the established character traits, and why Fifield's reaction to the "hammerpede" is a perfectly human response to absolute terror. It's not bad writing; it's a brutal depiction of how fight-or-flight works when you're isolated, scared, and under attack.
